In memory of our favorite "Bird Nerd" and consulting Ornithologist, Sherri (Gerry) Smith, TILT is honored to host the Smith Memorial Bird-a-Palooza.

The morning will feature two events, the Warbler Walk and the Bird is the Word Hike to get out on the land and observing the incredible bird species that pass through our region during spring migration.

Experienced, novice, and brand-new birders of all ages are encouraged to join us! Remember to dress in layers and don’t forget your binoculars.

Set out on a quiet morning hike with with Master Naturalist and avid birder Dan Miller. Learn to identify species by sight and sound, starting at the golden-winged warbler habitat where we will observe numerous warbler species and log our findings.
